THE BRIDGEPoRTs DIsBAND.

The Players Given Their Release YeS-
 terday-AH Due to Lack of Patron.
 ags-Pres1dent Weber to Resign
 No Eastern League Games Yesterday.
 The directors of the Bridgeport club have decided to disband and withdraw from the Eastern league. This step was taken on &C., count of the poor attendance at the games. Even with winning team the people would not patronize the games as they should The results which have attended the efforts to keep club going in that city for the past three years prove that the experience will not be repeated in hurry again. The money realized from the sale of Lovett, Wilson and Shannon gave the association sufficient funds to settle all the bills and return to the stockholders about 80 per cent. of what they paid in.
 President Near, of the Bridgeport ball as- sociation, says: ''The majority of the direc- tors are in favor of disbanding. We now have enough money on hand to pay all our bills and pay back to the stockholders from $20 to $25 on every $25 share, a thing that has never yet been done in this city. We have enough money to continue another month, but at the end ot that time there would be no money in the treasury to pay tAS SbCChuOlueIS, anu W6 SuOulu prODdDly De in debt besides. It is all a question as to whether the directors wish to pay for base ball out of their own pockets"
 All the players yesterday received their re- lease, and were paid what was due them. Most if not all of them will probably have no difficulty in getting engagements else- where. Joe Brown will probably go to Hart ford. Munyan is now at liberty to go to the Clevelands, who offered $250 last week for his release.
 MT. Weber says that he intends to resign as president of the Eastern league. He says it is his last venture with base ball in Bridge port. The Bridgeports are ont the $250 which they put into the guarantee fund of the league.
 Now that Bridgeport has gone it remains to be seen what effect it will have on the other four clubs. It is generally believed that they will play the season out.
 No Eastern league games yesterday on &C., count of rain.
 Other base ball news will be found on the fourth page.

A Story of Col. Tom Benton.

When Col. Benton ran for the
seventh time for the senate, says Ben:
Perley Poore in the Boston Budget,
he was defeated by Henry S. Geyer;
for the generation that has grown up
since he had entered public life "knew
not Joseph" He then took the stump
as u candidate for the house OF repre-
sentatives. and was elected as q Mis-
souri-compromise Democrat, defeat
ing Wing and n southern Democrat,
Col. Poore says:
But he was q mere cipher in the
house, and when the time for his re-
election came around he was de-
feated by know.nothing candi-
date. This sour.d him beyond
measure, and finally, ut iIidnight on
the Sd OF March, 1865, ne emptied
the contents of his desk into q red
silk handkerchief, and, with his bun.
die in his hand, went to the door,
where, rs the hands the clock reached
IL, he shouted: "Mr. Speaker" The
occupant OF the chair, linking he
wished to record his vote on a aues-
tion then being taken, said las was
and is the tustom): "Was the gentle
man within the bars when his name was
called9" mo sir" said Mr.. Benton:
81 am here, SRI l appear outside the
bar, sir, as an ex-member of congress,
to protest against any man calling
my name. II any clerk calls my name
/ will sue him, sir!'' "The gentleman
from Missouri" said the speaker pro
tenn, sis out OF order" Eyes, SIR"
said Mr.. Benton, "and if the sergeant
alarms attempts to arrest me, | will
sue him, sirl" Every one expected O
scene, but the presiding officer simply
said: at the gentleman from Missouri
is not member OF the house the door
keeper will keep him outside of the
hall" A roar OF laughter greeted this
announcement, and before it had died
away Col. Benton. carrying his bundle
turned his back upon legislation and
left.
